Turkish minister denies reports of gas price hike by Azerbaijan

Hilmi Guler said that the stories that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey were not accurate.

"I am having talks with the Azerbaijani executives for two days, and they haven't said such a thing. There is no rise," Guler told reporters.

Guler also said that two countries had signed a contract, and it was not possible for Azerbaijan to do so.

Some Turkish newspapers published reports in their Sunday editions that Azerbaijan had raised the price of natural gas it was selling to Turkey as a reaction to Turkey's rapprochement with Armenia.
